Might have been the A320 chatered by Virgin from strategic airlines

Circling over the city? I doubt that. Strategic A320 only did BNE-SYD-BNE last night and again tonight.

VH-YQA operated yesterday's flights, I presume it did todays flights.

Could the mystery white plane have been what looked a lot like a Constellation that I saw over Manly way? Didn't get a good look at the markings, it wasn't the Qantas one, are there any others flying still round here? It was on Webtrak as non-commercial and did a bit of circling over the harbour then headed up the Northern beaches and disappeared.
(First post, BTW, please be gentle...)

You may be 100% correct Jude as "Connie" was doing stuff airshow like on 21/9 and 22/9 so this maybe the plane in question.
